From the publisher

The author describes her work as a telephone crisis counselor and the desperate, anonymous people with whom she deals in terms of her close observation of the wild creatures that live their lives on the edge in her own backyard.

First line

The telephone room sits on the top floor of this rambling old house, whose wooden staircase creaks no matter where or how gently you step.
